Start of School year sickness that rips through the family like a marauding horde.
Not listening to people who know what they are doing. (people not following dr’s orders, bosses not listening to employees who are actually doing the work, or when asking for help getting mad at the answer you were given.)

Darrell:

WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?:
Crappy problems & little things that bug us:
Darrell:
New movie “Lucy”. Morgan Freeman states a blatant falsehood that we only use 10% of our brains. It’s the premise of the entire movie & is as stupid as telling me the Earth is flat.
Nobody pisses me off more than me. Mostly for not listening to my own common sense (Sunburn).
Charging for photos at conventions.
What’s got your goat?
Hammond:
People who study the Mcdonald’s Menu… or fast food places in general.
trying to support local business, but they don’t have what you are looking for
The “I’ve heard so much about you”
THE TURNAROUND: This week’s Positive:
Darrell: Sunburn stopped itching.
Hammond: getting feedback on what you do - that is not from family - New Macbook Pro! and GC Flask from Joe the Flask Guy!
THE BARFBAG:
Sean McLean: You know what gets my goat? Cashiers that talk to the other employees that is not work related while they're checking me out.
Jeffrey G: Yeah. Nobody wants to hear my crackly voice squawking, so I'm writing in.What grinds my gears? Restaurants that clearly have their own vast and spacious parking lots, but they *require* valet. It's one thing when he eatery has little or no parking and they have to park remotely. But when the valets only need to run 50' to get your car, and then expect a fat juicy tip? I know it's really the restaurants' fault and not the valets', but that really gets my goat.
Mary from Twitter: Hates her own voice but sounds wonderful here!
